DEPH Labs Names Lisa Loud CEO to Push Privacy-First Health Testing
Precision health startup DEPH Labs has appointed tech veteran Lisa Loud as CEO to expand epigenetic and at-home biological age testing.
DEPH Labs, a London-based precision health company that combines DNA analysis, epigenetics, and artificial intelligence to generate personalized health insights, has named Lisa Loud as its new Chief Executive Officer. The appointment signals an ambition to move faster on products that translate complex biological data into guidance ordinary consumers can act on — without sacrificing privacy in the process.
Loud arrives with a résumé that spans some of the most influential platforms in consumer technology and fintech. She previously held executive roles at Apple, PayPal, and Secret Network, giving her a background that straddles both mainstream consumer adoption and privacy-preserving decentralized systems — a combination that aligns neatly with DEPH Labs' stated positioning around privacy-centric health data.

The company is developing what it describes as single-sex epigenetic testing, a methodology that accounts for biological sex when measuring markers associated with aging and health risk. It is also advancing at-home saliva-based testing, a format that removes clinical barriers and could meaningfully widen the addressable market for biological age assessment. Both product lines reflect a broader industry trend toward consumer-grade diagnostics that were, until recently, available only in research or clinical settings.
Loud's mandate, according to the announcement, is to lead DEPH Labs through its next growth phase while working to democratize access to personalized precision health tools. The challenge ahead is substantial: the at-home diagnostics space is crowded and increasingly scrutinized by regulators, and any company handling sensitive epigenetic data faces mounting questions about how that information is stored, shared, and protected. Her track record at privacy-forward platforms may prove to be as important a credential as her consumer-tech experience.
